HEROES OF THE EVOLUTION: Pat Smith

Featuring the true builders of civilisation: the world's sung and unsung heroes

Introduction

Criminals, spivs, con men and psychopaths never built anything.

Civilisations are built and kept going by the good guys, the honest, productive people, people who care, contribute and help and they fail to the degree that such good people are undervalued, derided and dis-empowered. The criminals, con men, spivs and psychos only prosper by operating parasitically upon what good men have built.

Civilisations are not built by governments either. At their best governments can help with infrastructure, coordination and keeping the criminal off the honest man’s back. At the very least they can refrain from getting underfoot and inhibiting the efforts of good people to get worthwhile things done. And when they cannot even rise to that, they too become a criminal operation feeding parasitically upon the creative endeavours, good will and sheer hard work of the rest of us.

So it seems to me that while we are rightly bringing to your attention the criminal shenanigans and skulduggery of the corporate and political psychos who have hijacked and worked very hard to steer into the iceberg of stupidity the civilisation the rest of us are trying to keep afloat, we need to pay some attention to the flip side of all this, to the world’s sung and unsung heroes.

For they are legion.

Hence this series “Heroes of the Evolution” and hence the following article that features UK grandma Pat Smith, a true heroine of the evolution – Steve

A 70-Year-Old Grandma Cleaned 52 Beaches In 2018 To Help Our Planet

by Mayukh Saha / Truth Theory

Our planet is the only place we have to live, at least for the time being. Yet it’s not something that dawns upon us very often. We are blessed to receive all that we do from our planet and we must care for it.

It’s true most of us are somewhat helpless in front of greater forces around us. But there are so many people out there who are making giant strides in keeping our planet safe.

This one woman from the United Kingdom, Pat Smith, who lives in Cornwall, has made huge contributions to tackle it. Pat Smith is a grandmother who is 70-years-old! She watched a documentary on plastic pollution which really unsettled her. So she challenged herself to go out there and clean up one beach every week.

Her fellow townspeople warmly took to the idea and supported her. She took along her grandchildren and eager volunteers and accomplished what she set out to do. The whole team cleared 52 beaches in Cornwall in just one year in 2018. However, this is not all there is to her story, she is still going strong to make our planet a better world to live in.

 

Plenty of people thought that Pat was cleaning up the beach as a part of community service. She says that all of us must take responsibility for picking up after ourselves. She also adds that we should not litter any place, to begin with!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smith launched an initiative named The Final Straw. The campaign is aimed at raising awareness about the harm of generic plastic straws. She hoped to make a significant difference in making the planet get rid of plastic straws.

Pat has also partnered with other notable individuals such as Martin Dorey, who founded 2 Minute Beach Clean. In addition to that, she has also joined Wayne Dixon. He walks the shores of the United Kingdom as an ambassador for Keep Britain Tidy.

Plastic straws are an example of a destructive use of single-use plastic. They serve practically no purpose other than being a useless piece of plastic. But they are strewn across our oceans and stuffed in our landfills. The wildest part is, all the plastic straws in existence now are going to outlive several generations of humans!

On top of that, just using disposable straws about twice a day generates more than 600 straws a year. But Pat Smith has shown us that if we all can come together, if we want to save the planet. WE REALLY CAN!

So, what are you planning to do to save our home – this blue planet?

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
